Hi Yosh, interesting concept to develop your AI algorithms. I guess it can lead to surprising outcomes. 8-) The idea itself is not new, of course. I guess you've read about this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolutionary_algorithm (and maybe got inspired?). The only pitfall in this approach can be th...

Gazz, I did understand your reasoning. And probably you are right in making things a litte bit more clear and easier to track. I think we both have the same effect in mind. With the difference, that the player has to remember the unreliability of the "old" data in my proposal (which is more demandin...

I wouldn't play with colours because colour differences are very hard or impossible to determine for some people. Keep it simple. There is the "real" scanner to provide detailed info. Agreed. Especially regarding your second point. Regarding people with color weakness: There definitely sould not be...

First of all, let me join the applauding crowd: I too love the new scanner display! Well done, Josh! :) Now, as there is such a wonderfull new representation of scanner signals, couldn't there be an useful recycling of the old display? Obviously not with the same informative content that is now repr...

Well... this thread is already 'sticked' and therefore a valid target for all kinds of related ideas. Hence I probably should use it to ask/propose the followin sugggestion (which, as always, is most likely not the first time mentioned.) My question is: Will all weapons in LT be assembled on turrets...

In all honesty, I do not follow the discussions here very close and the following idea might be not so new at all - with the consequence of being shouted down and stoned with the related links by those who do know better. Anyway... I just did read the dev log regarding research and the shortly touch...

I think the nodal "system level view" might very well be used as a navigation map. It really looks great! However, the "link lines" to parent nodes are not necessary in this respect. Nodal organization is not of interest, when ordering your ship/fleet. What is of interest are wormhole links. Those m...

Second: please, PLEASE! Stop referring output power of generators with Joule! It hurts every time! WATTS goddammit WATTS! Joule is a time dependent unit namely watts x seconds. Energy storage needs joule as unit. Puh... that was good... dont ment to be harsh ^^ Oooops! You are absolutely correct an...

As I am new to this forum, first of all a cheerful “Hi!” to everybody! To Josh, to Andy and to all of the well settled forum members. I just learned about this fascinating and ambitious project – unfortunately WAY too late to be a part of the kickstarter campaign. But even if I will probably not bac...
